SANTA MARGARITA WATER MASTER
Wayne Gherring informed the Board that he will not be able to state a position on
the Water Master question until after reviewing the results of the base-wide
water study being conducted at Camp Pendleton, and primary results are expected
July 31.
Gordon Tinker stated that their attorney is going to proceed to make a filing to
get a judge assigned to the case unilaterally. Mr. Thomas stated that Rancho
California has no objection to the procedure of appointing a judge, but they want
the matter to be given considerable thought.
Concern was expressed about whether or not the Water Master should become
involved in the quality as well as the quantity issue, particularly relative to
"Live Stream Discharge." The Committee agreed that they should take a stand on
this concept, but it would require some time and education. Mr. Tinker suggested
putting some educational presentations on the Agenda, and Norm Thomas suggested
inviting Ladin Delaney to get his ideas on Live Stream Discharge.
George Buchanan explained to the Board the series of situations which led to the
Metropolitan Water District's discharging of some 380 acre feet of water.
Norm Thomas reported on the meeting at Rancho California Water District relative
to starting the basin plan amendment process to consider all of the environmental
problems and hydraulics of live stream discharge down the Santa Margarita River.
UPDATE ON WATER QUALITY IN LOWER SAN LUIS KEY RIVER
Jim Turner reported on the monthly testing of chlorides and total dissolved
solids in the lower basin and the San Luis Rey River. He explained that, in
general, the water quality is poor, but it is not being used at this time. Water
rights will be kept alive, and there was general discussion of ideas regarding
production of water for future use.
